June 2019FIREFOX LOAD ISSUES FIXED - Thanks to the help of Christian from macintoshgarden.org firefox version 67 is able to properly load the website again! Mad coding skills sir, we thank you! :)

+++

May 2019:ATTENTION FIREFOX USERS: Firefox version 67.0 appears to have trouble with this website. Users have reported that when a search is performed the front page will simply refresh and no search results are displayed. We have reached out to Mozilla to see what may be causing this. If you are experiencing the same issues, please let Mozilla know! There is nothing we can do on our end as this is solely a Firefox issue. Older versions of Firefox work. Safari, Opera and Chrome work as well. Use one of those browsers or downgrade your Firefox back to version 66.0.5 until they have resolved the issue.

+++

Some visual changes are coming and the start of it can be seen when a Mac serial number is looked up. Right now it looks a little empty in it's current format but this will be changing soon. iOS device search results will be updated last.

+++

April 2019:
Under the hood code updates to further tweak performance have been done. Along with the mySQL and PHP version upgrades the site should have noticeably improved performance. All Macs now also show the following information: Model Number, SMC version and Order Number.

+++

We're working to find more companies to show price quotes on search results. A little competition will keep everyone on their toes and gives you the best available option!

+++

March 2019:
The site is now also accessible over https! A lot of older machines still access this site so it is not enabled by default. To access the secure version of the site though, simply type "https://" infront of the address or click here. Also, don't forget to adjust your bookmarks.

Additionally, Google Chrome browsers will be automatically redirected to the https version of the site as Google is causing such a stink now about sites that are not encrypted. Users get fearmongered into believing the site may be hacked by attackers while in fact we choose to not load htps by default to accomodate traffic from older machines. *sigh*

SERVER UPGRADE INFO - March 2019:
The upgrade and migration has finally been completed and broken code was fixed. Full functionality appears to have been restored but if you find an issue please let us know.
For our account holders; we have restored the database to a pre-upgrade backup so you'll find all your search credits restored to what they were last week. Once again thank you all for your patience, we should be good to go for another decade now!

+++

Our web host has been busy upgrading our server for the last 3 days. After repeated inquiries for updates they finally let us know today that there were complications during the upgrade process. This caused the process to abort and now it has to be restarted and done manually. No ETA was provided. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope this upgrade is done soon so we can start the code review process. Account holders can email us with the serial numbers they’d like to look up and we will send back the specs for the models that are currently supported. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate all the support emails we have received so far expressing concern and offering to help out!

Happy & Healthy 2019 to all of you!
Started the year off by updating the Vintage and Obsoluete status on all supported configurations.

It also shows a status so you'll know if a program is expiring soon. The latest Vintage and Obsolete models are also displayed at the bottom of this page.

+++

There are now over 18.000 Macs and iOS devices registered as lost or stolen.
Users have indicated this site has been helpful in the recovery of almost 200 of such devices.

Numbers don't lie. Users lookup laptop info 3x more than desktop info and 5x more than iOS info.
With this in mind we will focus on expanding the laptop specs and adding more models as fast as we can. Of course desktops and iOS will not be forgotten (though we're way behind on iOS device support), those will get all of our attention once the laptop data has been updated.
